Watch the history channel http://www.history.com/content/jerusalem/biographies/jesus-christ. I have a whole book on this but I don't feel like going through it right now, go look it up, its called "The Case for Christ" and it was written investigation by an Atheist.

Don't be lazy. Back yourself up or don't run your mouth, plain and simple.
Lexite, you are really grasping at straws and not even taking the time to proofread what you are saying. I think your best bet might be to organize your sources and come back with your faith-driven agenda after you've taken some time to present an arguement properly. It just reflects poorly on your skill as a linguist and debator when your points not only are a little bit frantic sounding but are spouting 'facts' that you are too lazy to demonstrate via references.
People I don't really like....well, it's people who follow one huge trend without taking time to think clearly. Like Twilight or the Johnas Brothers for example. (NOTE: this is not a flame or insult to those that actually like either of these and have good reason to do so/have actually put thought in it.)
If the Johnas Brothers said it wasn't cool to wear blue jeans, you can sadly bet there's going to be 40% of their ardent fans throwing blue jeans into the garbage. Or if the movie actors in Twilight suddenly started endorsing Diet Dr. Pepper, some of the fan base would start drinking it. Extreme examples? Yes, maybe-but look at the days of the early Britney Spears (when she didn't start shaving her head and having problems). It drove mothers of that generation nuts when their beloved 5, 6, 7 year old daughters were running around trying to wear shirts that showed their bellies and short skirts.
So, it's just people who follow blindly that irks me. I would rather be annoyed at a person for speaking their mind on things that I don't agree with than poeple who waffle and allow poeple to brainwash them. I also dislike manipulative people who use their manipulation to get away with things or poeple who use their "oh, I would never do anything wrong" reputation to do things that aren't right. I've seen it too often and it sickens me...><

Reread my post Lexite, particularly in brackets where I say...
How can you argue with me when you blatantly gloss over elements of my post?
Lexite said:
I acknowledged that there are records of a Jesus, but they are of dubious value and severely limited in quantity. And please Lexite, it angers me beyond comprehension when you say historians do not deny he existed.
YOU CAN'T SPEAK FOR EVERY FUKIN HISTORIAN IN THE WORLD.
Some might say I'm overreacting, but you've made this claim countless fucking times. Not just that, but you can't even speak for most historians examining the existence of Jesus. In fact, MANY historians are skeptical about the existence of a Jesus (and I'll reiterate again) in ANY SHAPE OR FORM, INCLUDING A NON-MIRACLE JESUS.
Then you shouldn't have fucking posted; no one put a gun to your head. Stop making strawman assertions--mormoopid didn't ask for your fuckin' dissertation thesis, he asked (or implied, at least) for a well reasoned paragraph backed with evidence from reputable sources. You should have posted at a more appropriate time... like when you can back up your bullshit claims. I know I've put you in a shitty position (do I defend myself or do I go off topic when I promised not to?), but I had to say something about this irrationality.
To stay on topic (and with promise to not go off-topic again), I hate people like Lexite. Seriously, I do. I don't claim to be a paradigm of reason, but everything Lexite posts in serious discussion is so fuckin' stupid. I really hate ripping/flaming people over the internet, but every time I read something she posts I get angrier and angrier because it's almost always fuckin' ridiculous. Lexite commits every fuckin' sin known to informal logic and has no fuckin' clue she's doing it. Those kinda people piss me off and they are plentiful. It just makes me rage so fuckin' hard.
F_FFF__F_F_F_F_F_FF_FFUUUUCCKCKCKCKKCKCKC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S.
Maybe you should be stupid person of the day.
dude was a dick. always borrowing my clothes and never giving them back, never did his share of the dishes
I don't understand why you guys want to change Lexite's point of view, i know it's ridiculous and i know her sources doesn't exist, but it is so important to debate over nonsense?
I'll stay on topic now :), i don't get along with people that argue about everything, even if there is nothing to argue about,they find a flaw just to argue about it, or even if said person is wrong, they still are at it! It's almost neurotic.

This is my last off topic post in the thread.
@Dabossman
Dude, seriously, she's either a troll or someone who is ignorant of standard arguing conventions. It's just painful to argue with her, I'd expect this from a little kid.
@Nesgamer
She was the one who kept calling me dense and a troll, is it wrong for me to defend myself?
If I created a religion thread would you all give it some loving?

Dunno I find argumentative instagaters quite entertaining, I had this discussion with guy who smoked about why smoking should be totally legal, while he argued that it should be banned it was a quite intresting bout. Though I didn't remeber he smoked until after I had the discussion.
Overly sentimental/fake type people, usually girls that do drama are in this category. The ones who go omg, cry, and squeal uncontrollably for no reason. I can't stand them.
